        If by "designer" you mean "healthy" - who is upset about that?

        Editing like this would have cost the world the genius of people like Beethoven... 'fixing' things will surely have unforeseen consequences.

        As long as it's used in an equitable non-exploitative fashion, I see no problem with CRISPR technology.

        Eugenics is a real concern. Super IQ babies with superior immune systems should worry you too. Unless you're rich, ur kids can't compete.
